#3 - Window film blocks many things including heat

Looking for the 2nd Top Reason?  Check out our other blog for more misconceptions.


Solar radiation from the sun is divided into three components; visible light we can see, and infrared and ultraviolet rays which we can only feel. As solar radiation strikes a piece of glass, window film acts as a ‘sunscreen’ to block harmful UV rays as well as regulate the levels of heat and light passing through the glass. The amount of heat and light rejected is all dependent on the type of window film selected. They are the cost-effective alternative to tinted or decorative glass replacement.

Most films will cut 99% of the UV rays from entering into your home.

Total Solar Energy Rejected (which accounts for visible and infrared) can vary between 20-87% reduction, which means great savings for you.

Most films have winter radiant heat numbers too -- films can block 5-15% of your radiant heat from leaving your home in the winter, thus saving money on your heating bills too.
